The Modernising Government programme is the Government's agenda for modernising Public Services. It is led by the Minister for the Cabinet Office.

The
first Modernising Government annual report Citizens
First was published on Wednesday 13th September 2000. The report
captures the spirit of the modernisation programme, with over 45 examples of
how the Government’s strategic vision has been translated into real
action: better government to make life better for people.

Modernising
government is a long-term project, which will transform the face of public
services. Putting citizens first by ensuring public services are accessible
to all. Overcoming barriers by shifting the focus of public services to the
user’s viewpoint. By joining government up to deliver better policies and
seamless, quality services, thanks to public servants working better
together. By using information age approaches to do this – and valuing
public service at its true worth.
